T.G. Finkbinder
- Actor
- Additional Crew
T.G. Finkbinder graduated from Towson High School in Towson, Maryland
in 1969. Following graduation from college, T.G. won the juicy lead
role as the titular crazed and vicious puritanical religious fanatic
psychopath in the brutal, mean-spirited, and controversial 1970's
proto-slasher cult favorite "The Redeemer: Son of Satan!". Finkbinder's
gloriously ripe, stylized, and theatrical portrayal of the Redeemer
should have led to bigger and better things. Alas, this was not to be.
T.G. had minor uncredited roles as a Secret Service Agent in "The Greek
Tycoon" and as a Senate Aid in "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" (he also
worked as Rip Torn's stand-in on this latter picture). His small part
in the movie adaptation of the hit 1960's hippie counterculture musical
Broadway play "Hair" was cut from the final finished film. Following an
embittering experience working as an extra on "F.I.S.T," Finkbinder
decided to call it quits as a movie actor. T.G. now works as an English
teacher at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland and as the
Coordinator for the APEX Scholars Program.
